Private Chauffeur Nice Airport to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

The Riviera Elite Standard
From the Nice runways to the peninsula
Riviera Elite Driver provides a licensed and insured private chauffeur service operated in accordance with the professional requirements for private passenger transport. Our vehicles and chauffeurs hold the required professional authorizations and are covered by the appropriate insurance for chauffeur operations. Compliance, safety and the protection of our clients are integral to our standards.
Between the Nice runways and the peninsula, the road crosses the city, skirts the harbor, then follows the Basse Corniche above the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer: about 45 minutes in all. Informed of every delay, your private driver adjusts the pickup time.
-
At the private jet terminal
For a private flight, the meeting point is the Nice business aviation terminal: your chauffeur is there with the private car before the wheels touch down, then takes charge of the luggage.
-
Late arrivals
Delays that pile up, a landing after midnight: nothing changes, your chauffeur stays at the airport until you come out. At that hour the corniche is quiet, and the peninsula is already asleep.
-
Along the Basse Corniche
Beyond Nice’s harbor, the road runs high above the bay, then turns off toward the peninsula and its old fishing village.
-
Monaco, thirty minutes on
From the Cap, the Basse Corniche reaches Monaco in about thirty minutes, by way of Beaulieu-sur-Mer: dinner in the principality needs no planning.
NICE AIRPORT TO SAINT-JEAN-CAP-FERRAT TRANSFER
From the arrivals hall to the peninsula
Each airport run to or from the Cap is charged at the rate confirmed on booking; dinners, full days and longer stays are better served by an hourly chauffeur who stays close by.
-
Lunch in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, the Ephrussi gardens in the afternoon, Monaco in the evening: a single chauffeur sees the whole day through.
-
Ceremony in the village, dinner beneath the pines: your guests arrive from the airport on their own flight times, and each heads home when they wish.
-
As the season opens, Valentin works with your house manager to bring in the whole household: family, staff and trunks, flight by flight, with several vehicles if needed.
-
Add your peninsula address: your airport fare appears within a second and won’t move.

THE YEAR AROUND THE CAP
From the Grand Prix to Cocteau’s frescoes
A race weekend in Monaco, dinners in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, gardens to visit, a house covered in frescoes: the peninsula has its own rhythm.
-
Early June
The Monaco Grand Prix
In early June, the principality becomes a racetrack. From the Cap, we leave early and come back late, so you can follow the race and forget about the drive.
-
Evening
Dinner on the Baie des Fourmis
Minutes away from the Cap, Beaulieu-sur-Mer and its Baie des Fourmis host summer dinners; getting back to the peninsula takes almost no time.
-
One morning
The Ephrussi gardens
Built between 1905 and 1912 for Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild, the baroness’s pink villa overlooks the bay; its nine gardens spread over seven hectares (about 17 acres).
-
Since 1950
Cocteau’s frescoes
In 1950, Jean Cocteau, a guest at Santo Sospir, painted his first large mural decoration there; the house can now be visited by appointment.

GOOD TO KNOW
A question before landing in Nice?
Does the drive change with the time of day?
Yes: roughly 45 minutes is the norm; a busy Nice adds a little, and late at night the trip shrinks noticeably.
Can you meet my private plane?
Of course: for a private flight, we wait on the business aviation side; as soon as the bags are stowed, we head straight for the Cap.
Can you coordinate the arrival of the whole household?
Yes: send us every flight number; each traveler gets a vehicle, and a V-Class follows with the luggage.
For Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, is a taxi enough, or is a private chauffeur better?
In Nice, the taxi line can mean a long wait. Instead, your name is on a sign: just beyond arrivals, a chauffeur, perfectly groomed, in a suit and tie, is waiting, and you reach the Cap in a vehicle bearing the three-pointed star, a brand-new, latest-generation Mercedes-Benz.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Your arrivals at the Cap, with Valentin
Valentin Sassi founded Riviera Elite Driver in 2016, after a career in tourism and luxury hospitality on the French Riviera. In the five-star hotels and Palaces of Cannes, he learned what great hospitality demands: attention to detail, discretion and the art of anticipation. These qualities have become his signature.
At first the only one behind the wheel, he earned the trust of hotels, partners and loyal clients, then brought together a team of professional chauffeurs who share his vision of the craft.
Since 2023, he has devoted himself entirely to his clients: he personally organizes every journey and coordinates your chauffeurs.
Day and night, seven days a week, the whole team is just a call away. The Basse Corniche, the bay, the peninsula’s lanes and the jet terminal: Valentin knows the route mile by mile.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
